The "5 day Grace Period" allows for payments to be considered timely if received "in hand" in the Calumet County Treasurer's Office by 4:30 p.m. Friday, February 6th, 2015.

Did you forget to pay your 1st installment by January 31st, 2015? Are you worried your payment will not be post-marked until after the due date? Legislation was changed in 2010 to Wisconsin Statute 74.69 to allow a five business day grace period for real estate tax bills for both the first and second installment payments.

What does this mean?
According to the legislation, the due dates of January 31st and July 31st have not changed, however, as long as the payment is received in hand by the County Treasurer, the payment shall be considered timely.

Here are examples of payment dates:

Payment is post-marked February 5th, 2015 and received by County Treasurer February 6th, 2015. This payment is timely.

Payment is post-marked February 5th, 2015 and received by County Treasurer February 8th, 2015. This payment is delinquent and subject to Statutory Interest and Penalty charges.
